Why Choose Cincinnati Mini Blades Size 68?
The company has produced surgical blades in Cincinnati, Ohio since 1938. A joint manufacturing agreement with Swann-Morton of Sheffield, England has been in place since 2015. That focus shows in listings like this one, where the options are the manufacturer’s own catalog options for the product.
- Fewer mid-case substitutions – the size, material, and sterility you pick are the ones that arrive
- Consistent supply – in-house sterilization and high daily output keep core sizes in production
- A specialist maker – the catalog is blades, scalpels, handles, and needles, nothing else
- Clean reorders – stable catalog numbers make the second order identical to the first
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
Which handles do these blades fit?
These blades follow the standard surgical blade fitting for their size. Check the handle size against the blade size before ordering so the blade seats fully on the handle.
What materials and sterility options are in this listing?
This listing covers blades in sterile options, packed as 25/bx. Each option is a separate catalog number, so the material and sterility you select are exactly what ships.
Which brand lines are included?
The options come from Swann Morton, sold by Cincinnati Surgical Company. The brand is named at the start of every option label in this listing.
How should a used blade be taken off the handle?
Use a blade remover rather than fingers or forceps, which keeps hands away from the used edge. Blade removers are part of the same Cincinnati Surgical range and are listed separately at MedicalEx.
Are the blades sold individually?
No, the blades are sold in the manufacturer packaging shown on each option, including 25/bx. The price shown is the price for that full pack or box.
